We don't just teach our students the mechanics of playing their Instruments, we teach them to understand music so that they can go beyond the basics and explore musical avenues like songwriting/composing, improvisation, solo and group performance, competition, recording, etc.

Intermediate and Advanced Players...

When you start your lessons at Jewell Tone, your instructor will take the time to assess your current skills and determine in what areas you want/need to improve. You already have the basic skills and you probably already know what goals you want to achieve, so your Instructor will create a custom tailored plan that will get you to the next level. Our Intermediate and advanced instructors not only posses a high level of music education, but they also have years of experience performing in a wide variety of contexts. Many of them posses high levels of experience In composing, recording, competing, and more.

Online Lessons

The expansion of online lessons has been the greatest thing to come out of 2020 for us and for many of our students. As we have grown, the needs of our students and teachers have changed. The number of live, virtual lessons we offer has grown exponentially and our teachers and students have flourished in them. We've experienced successes with online students of all ages, skill levels and physical abilities.

All of our online lessons happen live and are taught by one of our experienced instructors, utilizing the digital platform that students likely already have at their disposal (i.e. FaceTime, Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.). Our teachers approach online lessons in a way that helps their students get the most out of the lesson.

Virtual lessons also give our students flexibility by eliminating travel time and giving them the freedom to have their lesson from almost anywhere.
